Calanya has a plea for his fellow LiveJournal users: Please make Dotan your friend! I must concur. Please do!
Does Movable Type let you do pages in UTF-8? That would be cool, and let me mix languages freely.
Here’s some text in a bunch of characters:
שלום Hello Hârn
Hmm. This looks good, and the Hebrew (and high-ascii) roundtrips.
It kills all the old Hebrew, though (that was iso-8859-8-i). But it’s the way of the future!
and the RSS feeds…?
Trying out a new theme. Gone is the baby blue background, and in comes (sigh) the font everyone’s using. Goodbye, Georgia, I never really liked you.
Anders Jacobsen, who has the only site that shows up on a search for dotan at Google’s weblog index (via cincom), writes about an offline weblog editor for Movable Type, SharpMT. However, his post suggests it’s not quite ready for use.
In the comments section, Adam Kalsey links to Zempt, a similar tool he’s written with Bill Zeller in C++ using wxWindows. And that’s what I’m trying to post in now. However, both of these tools seem to be just about posting (like w.bloggar). The big plus of a rich GUI desktop editor isn’t in replacing basic posting, I think, but in replacing the woefully inadequate tools for sorting, organizing and editing existing entries.
